I have had the first one in my TBR for a while now. I just started reading it a few days ago and was hooked. I am on book three now and may binge all of them one right after the other.

Hmm...reading "The Stand".
Kinda OK. A bit slow-developing. Not really my thing. ![]() |

Swan Song - Robert R. McCammon
Lucifer's Hammer - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle Also, it's amazing what ends up as a Wikipedia article: Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. I particularly like that they make mention of some pre-1900 works ... oh, and the idea of a "cosy catastrophe"! |
